I won’t call these lava lamps for lack of lighting. I saw this on http://www.quirkymomma.com and thought my babies would appreciate it. They have been begging for the real deal after all. Lol after doing this nifty project I’m probably going to get them some. Anyway, without further ado: Materials: Vegetable oil Country jars Water…

I promise this blog is a lot cleaner than the title sounds ;-). I spent my evening doing a couple of arts and crafts with my husband, son and daughter. I gave them separate crafts to do because I thought my daughter might have found the one I did with her brother a little below…

For months I’d been saying I was going to try to make Puffy Paint with my kids. Problem was, I kept putting it off because of things like…you know…procrastination. I’d seen it on a blog somewhere and immediately thought “O that looks fun.” But as I googled puffy paint I kept coming across all these…

I’m all about DIY arts and crafts for the kids, but every so often mom gets the urge to create too! One day a few weeks ago my husband purchased a 20 Grand bottle of vodka. Needless to say it was an evening spent with me putting him to bed while he rattled off all…

I did not blog all weekend because I was too wrapped up in laundry, arts and crafts and sipping Moscato in between screaming children. That was my weekend how about yours? I normally use the weekends to spend time with my kiddies that I may not necessarily get to do during the week; so this…

Today was just one of those days that if I could have stayed nestled in the bed hidden from the world, I would have. But as life would have it that’s just not the case. I generally use the weekends to do laundry, hang with the kids and run errands etc. Saturday we took our…

One of the awesome privileges I enjoy about being a stay at home mom is my ability to tap into my fun creative side like I used to when I was a kid. The past week was Thanksgiving break for my kids so they were home ALL week-long ALL day. Right, no reprieve, just kids…
